Klein offers peek into platform, will form CAML to fight meth

As promised Arnie kept his remarks brief.  Channel 3, Times-Standard also covered the event. 7 enthusiastic supporters which included Blake Morrow, who described himself as Arnie's stragegist and Allisin Edrington, his media consultant.

Taking back the community and public safety were 2 issues Arnie mentioned as part of his platform.

Arnie said when he was in Garberville, people spoke to him about 50 people who were not residents, "who just came in", who congregate outside churches and other buildings, urinate, harass and intimidate people and families. There are only 2 law enforcement officers there, Arnie said.

Arnie said he plans to form a committee of citizens and law enforcement, CAML, which stands for Citizens Against Meth Labs. "I will prosecute them to the full extent of the law."

He mentioned debates being held by several organizatoons. This Thursday, the Tea Party is organizing one at the Eureka Veteran's Building at 7 p.m. "Listen intently to all candidates and make up your mind," said Arnie.

He concluded his remarks by saying, "There are only 7 or 8 prosecutors, I will not waste time on petty crimes and drunk in public. I will go after murderers, rapists, and I will not plea bargain cases with 2 years."

While he did not mention names, the last comment was directed and referred to his criticism of the Ferrer case which was prosecuted by Elan Firpo, one of the other candidates for DA.

I am an Elan supporter and there has been a lot of criticism by other candidates of this 1 case. These candidates are not active prosecutors presently. One thing I do agree with Arnie about is that people should attend debates, meet all candidates, listen to all, and then decide.
